I have a hard time parsing this too because there have been many people claiming to be visited by the government for saying milder things than I have probably said in various places on the internet. They usually just get told to stop, so I don't believe they're getting sent to forever jail, but at the very least the govt is a little more likely to react to comments whereas it would probably take a direct threat to have that happen in some Western countries. Which leads me to believe that the CPC has either greater surveillance or pays closer attention to try to stop things before they escalate.
